It's an old test, the idea was to have a gentle fly between all these triangles and then visiting Uni and Kay. Sadly, handling the software isn't my thing, It's a hyperspace drive ...woosh..., my thought was: Verdammt noch mal!I had problems to correct the flight, I think it is called the "ease to" function.Then a phone call, I had to create a catalogue, and so: no problem solved, "aus den Augen, aus dem Sinn" / "out of the eyes, out of the mind"And a 12sec.clip on my harddisk

I would like to, but I have to learn the software and I don't think I will ever have time for it

Much, much, much, better for my opinion, it's called Anime Studio 5, you have more control about your characters, you can rig them with bones, that means, you can reduce the in-betweens to zero, (not the best idea, but possible) You can use photos, bitmap pictures, and you can also make vectorgraphics and animate them.Theoretical it would be easy to anmiate Jenny's comics, cut out the character, rigging, and place them on the background again, then animate. here is an example http://de.youtube.com/watch?v=mwcIgF_byeAKaye on a Pastel Defender backgroundI'd did cut out Kaye, the body has bones like the arm, the machines are simply moved from A to B, and the "zoom", well lt's a simple resize.For bitmap animation you need *.png pictures,they have to be free, I use photoshop with an alpha channel and save them as png's.Vector animation is also possible, which is closer to Flashhttp://de.youtube.com/watch?v=gxRv0X3FynkAll that moving was made with bones, no extra pic was needed, the bone deformed the cloak as I wishedThe background is a bitmap.The outline, yes I should had remove it, but in this test I wanted to see how the interaction was, hey, - that's true!

If you want to know what is possible with the software, just search inside youtube for Anime Studio, or Moho, the name the software had before.

Shame on me again, I've got the software and no time.Fact is, my big brother thought: hey, and did want a 60 minutes movie...Did I mention I have no full experiences yet?Short films, for learning, should be the first step, I couldn't find time, ...And mostly the wall is/seems to high for me...

Anime Studio was called earlier Moho,Now the download files of Anime Studio works for a month,than it is over.The test version of Moho was also restricted, but only with a waterdsign, you could work with it much, much longer.Search inside YouTube for Moho and Anime Studio, you can find a lot of examples.

So if you want to try it out, and not be limited for a month, take this download from a swiss webpage.A very helpfull tutorial is inside the package, and Moho has nearly all features of the professionell Anime Studio, incl. the pseudo 3D stage.
